The non-binding memorandum provides a mutual understanding of the proposed collaboration. Specifically, the memorandum says that NIST and Korea Automotive Technology Institute intend to participate in:

  • Mutually beneficial international joint R&D Projects related to teleoperated and automated vehicles
  • Establishing standards on system architecture for advanced vehicle-to-everything (V2X) supported teleoperated vehicles
  • Research on advanced V2X communications, using fifth generation (5G) and sixth generation (6G) network technologies for teleoperated vehicles
  • Research and development of artificial intelligence for advanced support of teleoperated and automated vehicles
  • Research into cybersecurity for advanced V2X supported teleoperated vehicles
  • Staff exchanges to conduct joint research at Korea Automotive Technology Institute and NIST facilities

NIST and Korea Automotive Technology Institute plan to discuss a proposed vehicle teleoperation and 5G communication system.
